在一本书看到,except, from, until, in等介词后有时可接介词短语作宾语,但好像见过except, from, until后接可介词短语的,如except on Sunday, from behind the bed, until after the meeting等,好像没见过in后面接介词短语的吧?是书上说错了,还是真可这样用?谢谢老师解答!
唐老师:
若意思上有需要,介词 in 的后面是可以接介词短语的,如 in under… 就是其中的用法之一。如:
You can do the job in under an hour. 这工作你不到一个钟头就能干完。
A thief can break into a car in under ten seconds. 窃贼十秒钟之内就能把车撬开。
Who was the first man to run a mile in under four minutes? 谁第一个在四分钟以内跑完了一英里?
She fulfilled her ambition to become the first woman to run the 10,000 meters in under 30 minutes. 她实现了自己的夙愿,成了世界上第一位跑1万米用时不到30分钟的女人。
